ARTISTIC POLICY
Earthfall enables a constellation of artists – including physical performers, musicians, visual artists, and film-makers – to create devised works using their specific skills and unique differences. Using a semi-narrative form, Earthfall confronts timeless and contemporary issues, inviting the audience to add personal experience to their understanding of the work.
REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Earthfall are a 21st century phenomenon.’ The Guardian
‘Gorgeous... fearless... beautiful.’ The Independent
‘Mesmerising… it made the theatre catch fire – epic.’ The Mail on Sunday
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Gravitas Earthfall examines the paradox of freedom of speech and the nature of power and protest, using all the trademark ingredients of urban choreography, live music, heady themes and ironic humour. (70 mins, no interval. 8 on stage, including 2 musicians, 3 technicians and 1 director.)
GIG To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the formation of Earthfall, the company present a new touring work for 2009/10. GIG is a high-octane, satirical rampage through the human condition. (70 mins, 6 on stage, 2 technicians and a director.)
WRAP-AROUND
